I have already left a google review, but I wanted to make one extra review, because I know…read morefirst-hand how other parents can relate and struggle with the same. My son has autism, and has been diagnosed as having a comorbid diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. Recently, his anxiety spun out of control, and we found out that he was receiving medication that was counteracting what it was supposed to do and causing his increase in anxiety. He is 11-years-old, and it was gut-wrenching to watch as a mother, and extremely disappointing when his anxiety held him back from completing the requirements to test for his next belt. After his doctor's appointment one day we stopped by the grand rapids location and was able to talk with Sensi Sasa. Sasa sat down with me and listened to the struggles I was having with my son and took interest in what the medical plan was for my son as well as the psychological plan. Sensi Sasa cared, and for a mother with a child with special needs, that was something I so desperately needed...especially at that time! Sensi Sasa cared and reassured me that my son would still be able to test and would be able to make up any activities that were required for testing for his next belt. Sensi Sasa said, "This is what I want for this organization...not to just teach our students kicks and punches, but to help them gain confidence and strength both physically and emotionally." Sasa asked what to look for in my son when he's becoming overly anxious and reassured me he understood and was there to help. I've felt like I've been screaming on the inside for years to get doctors and teachers to just listen to me. I truly wish there were more teachers like Sensi Sasa out there, because the care he gave by just listening to me and empathizing with me while also encouraging my children is a gift that is beyond priceless. If you have any apprehension and/or doubt in enrolling your child, take it from me...it's beyond worth every cent, time, and energy. The encouragement and self-confidence your child will get in return will be miles more than what they will receive at their daily brick-and-mortar school sessions. (P.S. I'm not in CA..not sure why yelp places my location in CA.)

Shorin-ryu Karate School is a top quality dojo. The supervising Sensei is an 8th Dan with over 30…read moreyears' experience, as well as being Yudansha in other styles. The primary instructor has over 25 years in various martial arts and takes the time to address the specific needs of the students. The dojo has been open since 1990, making it one of the oldest in the Grand Rapids area. Shorin-ryu is a traditional Okinawan style taught in a traditional manner. The emphasis is upon self-perfection through physical disciple - the Do. If you are looking for a MMA school or practical self-defense program, this is not the dojo for you. If you seek quality instruction, increased self-development, and improved physical fitness - Shorin-ryu Karate School is the place to be.

From the owner: Traditional Shorin-Ryu Okinawan Style Karate-Do and Ryukyu Kobudo…read more The essence of orthodox Okinawan Karate-Do, as expressed by the Okinawa Karate-Do Association, and Ernest Estrada-Sensei, who is the president of the Okinawa Karate-Do North American: "Okinawan Karate is not based on winning, it is based on not losing.” Training then becomes its reward with the idea that Okinawan karate can be for everyone, not just for those who are competitive. Women, children, and older people may benefit from the systematic methods employed by our instructors. Shorin-Ryu Karate School was established in 1990 as a means of promoting original Chibana-style Shorin-ryu Karate-Do and Ryukyu Kobudo. We teach an authentic form of martial art passed down from generation to generation. This is not a “sport” karate dojo or one that sponsors tournament-style karate.

I'd definitely stay away from this place. I wish I would've stuck with my intuition when I first…read moretoured it and not signed up... but, I did anyway. As many other reviews have pointed out, the contracts are a joke and the staff will do everything in their power to ensure you can't cancel. But, the unhelpfulness from the staff doesn't just have to do with canceling, they're generally unhelpful and have better things to do... like check their cell phones, or hide in the office and check their cell phones. Old, dirty, broken, uncared for equipment is the name of the game here. What the hell isthat smell and where is it coming from? Get out of here. There are better places, with better equipment, better rates, and better everything.Forget it.

I seen thousands of people's contracts and once they're up, they auto renew them without asking you. I advise anyone to find a different gym, trust me.

Everyone is rad and chill. All the coaches are top notch and give personal tips and instruction on a regular basis. They take the extra time to help my progress.

The owner is tough, but he pushes me to be better. He doesn't tell me what I want to hear, but he speaks what needs to be said. He is honest with me regarding where I am and where I need to go in my training. If you are willing to learn, grow, and be stretched...this is the place for you! The first class is free.
